Games part of the Zork series

The Zork series is a classic collection of text-based adventure games developed by Infocom in the late 1970s and early 1980s. It's widely regarded as one of the pioneering franchises in interactive fiction and has left a significant mark on the history of video games.

The series began with Zork I: The Great Underground Empire in 1980, which tasked players with exploring the vast and mysterious underground caverns of the Great Underground Empire. Players navigated through the game by typing commands in plain English, such as "go north" or "take lantern," and solving puzzles to progress.
Zork quickly became a hit, leading to the development of several sequels and spin-offs. These games expanded upon the original's world, introducing new locations, characters, and challenges for players to overcome.
